National Pumpkin Day

I can’t leave this section without celebrating the beautiful pumpkin! I love its orange color! Of course, pumpkins are round, sturdy, and healthy, are fun to paint or carve, great for pie-making, and more. (According to Cinderella, a pumpkin can also be readily converted into a romantic form of transportation! :)

Yes, my friends, I’m so enamored with the pumpkin, that I’ve made it the chief ingredient in this month’s Nourishing Recipe, Flour-less Pumpkin Pancakes. These pancakes are absolutely delicious and amazingly nutritious. Try them out for yourself and you’ll see what I’m talking about!

In the meantime, I’d like to create a brand new, special day called National Pumpkin Frolicking Day just for us. This is a day for pumpkin picking in the fresh autumn air, making homemade, toasted, sea-salted pumpkin seeds, carving out jack-o-lanterns to light the dark night, and eating these orange goodies in all its many forms! Enjoy!
